p.1

The provision is good

n Children form secure attachments with the childminder and each other. They are happy and content in the childminder's care. Children show good levels of confidence and self-esteem. n Children develop good communication and language skills. The childminder uses purposeful questioning techniques to encourage children to think and respond for themselves. n The childminder works well with parents. She shares information with them about the progress their children make and what they have enjoyed during the day. This helps parents to know how to continue their children's play at home. Parents are very complimentary about the care the childminder provides. n The childminder manages children's behaviour well. She is a very good role model to children and has clear behavioural expectations.

It is not yet outstanding because:

n The childminder's assessments of children's development are not consistently precise enough to help her plan even more effectively for children's next steps in learning. n The childminder does not consistently obtain information about children's learning from other settings that they attend, to extend the continuity of support even further.

p.2

Effectiveness of leadership and management is good

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The childminder demonstrates a good awareness of her safeguarding responsibilities. She keeps her knowledge up to date and is confident with the procedures to follow should she have any concerns about a child. Risk assessments are effective in helping the childminder to minimise potential risks to children. The childminder builds positive relationships with parents. This helps her to promote consistency in children's care. She reflects on the quality of her provision and gains the views of parents as part of the process. The childminder completes all mandatory training. She refreshes her childcare knowledge. For instance, she works closely with other childminders to exchange ideas and to share good practice. The childminder also receives regular electronic communication from her local authority to keep her up to date with any important changes in legislation.

p.3

Quality of teaching, learning and assessment is good

Children are continually engaged in their play. The childminder provides children with opportunities to develop their hand-eye coordination. Children measure out and mix ingredients to make a celebration cake. The childminder teaches children how to use the electronic scales and estimate how much flour they need. Children carefully break eggs and whisk them into the mixture. The childminder builds on children's growing independence. She encourages children to tidy their toys away after use to help them understand how to keep the play space free from trip hazards. The childminder observes children as they play and plans activities that she knows will interest them.

p.3

Personal development, behaviour and welfare are good

The childminder promotes healthy living effectively. She teaches children good hygiene routines. For example, children know to wash their hands before they touch food. Children learn the importance of healthy eating. The childminder often takes children to choose their own fruit and vegetables from the local greengrocer. She teaches children what is good to eat and what types of food are for treats or special occasions. The childminder provides good opportunities for children to develop their physical skills. For example, children play in the garden, go on walks and visit play parks.

p.3

Outcomes for children are good

Children make good progress in their learning and development. They acquire positive attitudes to learning and gain the skills they need in readiness for their future learning and for moving on to school. Children are happy and settle quickly in the childminder's care. They easily use a selection of tools and equipment during their activities. For instance, children set up a game to play together. They confidently explain to each other how to catch the fish in the crocodile's mouth.
